Flights of Genius.

"You look," said an Irishman to pale, haggard smoker, "as if you had got out of your grave to light your cigar. and couldn't. find your way back again"
 A schoolmaster, describing a money-lender, says: He serves you in the present tense, he lends you in the conditional mood, keeps you in the subjective, and ruins you in the future" A close ob- server Of human nature remarks: "Time marches on, with the slow, measured tread of the man work ing by the day" A French author is charged with the prediction that France will throw herself into the arms of the liberatlng sword. This is not quite so bad as the Demo crat's speech: ''We will burn our ships, and with every sail unturled, steer boldly out into the ocean of freedomw
 A clergymen on board a ship be- gan a sermon in the following manner: "Dsar friends, I shall em- bark my exhortation on the barge  of my lips, in order to cross the stormy ocean of your attention, and in hope of arriving safely at the port of your ears"
 A learned counselor, in the mid dle of an affecting appeal in court on a islander suit, treated his hear CTS to the following flight of gen jus: "Slander, gentlemen, like a boa-constrlctor of gigantic size and immeasurable proportions, wraps the coil ofits unwieldly body about it's unfortunate victim, and heed less of the shrieks of agony that come from the uttermost depth of its victims soul-loud and vibrat- ing as the night thunder that rolls in the heavens finally breaks its unlucky neck upon the iron wheel of public opinion, fore ing him first to desperation, then madness, and finally crushing him in the hideous jaws of mortal death"
 A young American lawyer em ployed to defend a aculprit charged with stealing pig resolved to con vince the court that he was born to shine. Accordingly, he pro ceeded to deliver the following brilliant exordium: May it please the court and gentlemen of the jury, while Europe is bathed in blood; while classic Greece is struggling for her rights and fiber ties, and trampling the unhallowed altar of the learned infidels 10 dust; while America shines forth the brightest orb m the po- litical sky-I, with due diffidence, rise to defend the cause of this humble thief"
 Pray, my Lord" said a gentle man to late respected and rather whimsical Judge, what Is the diff ference between law and equity courts?" "Very little in the end," replied his Lordship. At common law you are done for at once; in equity you are not so easily dis- posed of. The former is a bullet, which is instantaneously and charmingly effective; the latter is an anglers hook, which plays with its victim before it kills it. The one is prussic acid, the other laudauum."
 The following lines from Power and Transmission set forth pretty clearly the difference between a class of business as now conducted and gambling:
 You go upon the board of trade, Where margin merchants meet, AnI axe some little options On January wheat;
 You watch the little ticker, Tlil the hands swing rolni the ring.
 Then yoa find yOdr little poodle Has gone g.lmmering.
 That's business.
 You % into T faro bank And buy . stack of chips.

KENTUCKY'S ELECTION.
Democratic Gains in Louisviile-Prohi-
bition Defeated.


LOUISVILLE, Aug. Returns from the
interior of the State so far indicate very
large Republican gain. Returns from two
thirds of the precincts in th3 city OF Louis
vile show Democratic gains.
Kenton county, part of Carlisles district,
including Covington, shows that the Union
Labor party polled a much larger vote than
the Republicans, the Democrats polling
about their usual vote.
Prohibition is defeated in Jefferson
county, including Louisville.
The election for State and legislative OIL
GERS of Kentucky passed off quietly to-day.
The weather was clear and hot and the vote
does not seem to have been large Owing
to the length OF the ticket and local con
tests the returns are as yet meagre The
labor and prohibition votes are smaller than
was anticipated.
In Louisville the Democratic majority is
about 1900, n Democratic gain OF nearly
1000 over the last election. The city elects
solid Democratic Legislative ticket,
and defeats local option by heavy
majority. The county and city give
Democratic majority Of 5000. Meagre re-
turns from the State indicate a Republican
gain, but prominent Democrats estimate
that the Democratic majority will be from
5000 to 5000 votes. Following is the
ticket:
GovcrnOr-Simon Bolivar Buckner.
Lieutenant GOverpor-G. w. Bryan.
Auditor-Fayette Hewitt.
Treasurer. W. Tate.
Attorney General-W. II. Hardin.
Superintendent of Public Instruction..
D. Pickett.
Land Register-Thomas Corlet.
Gen. Buckner appears to have run ahead
Of his ticket and the Democratic losses are
mainly in local contests.
Lexington gave its first Democratic ma
iority in several years
The vote for holding a constitutional con-
vention was large, but the question will not
likely carry. The Legislature will be
largely Democratic, and will elect United
States Senator i'll January to succeed Soma
tor Beck
The indications tonight are that the work
ingnen have carried the State ticket in
Newport, Ky, by 800 plurality, and in
Covngton by $50 plurality. They are
elated and sanguine of success in Kenton
and Campbell counties

Georgia's Title to Her Tennessee Prop
erty Beyond Dispute.

ATLANTA, GA, August doubt has
been raised in certain quarters and for an ev-
ident purpose as to Georgia's title to the
property i'll Tennessee occupied by the Yves
tern and Atlantic railroad, which has now
become immensely valuable. If there were
an intelligent doubt on the subject, which
there is not, it appears that the act passed
by the Tennessee Legislature January n.
1885, and another February /, 1S4S, gave
the State the right of way from the State
line TO the Tennessee river with the usual
rights, privileges and immunities with tho
right to purchase and hold in fee or by lease
any lands necessary, even going so far as
to provide for the condemnation of lands
for this purpose.

FLORIDA'S METROPOLIS.
The Mayport Road to be Broad Gauge
Sinking Of Steamer

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 1.-The
directors of the Mayport railroad concluded
today to make it standard gauge and will
bridge the St. Johns river south of Jack
sonville from East Jacksonville to Airing
ton.
A. S. Challler, of Aliddlebury, town
east of Jacksonville, on the st. Johns
river, came here to-day and reported
that his steam tug Twilight sunk
suddenly last night on Black creek. The
Twilight had been towing a raft of logs and
darkness coming on she made fast to shore
and the crew turned in for the night.
Owing to the heat all on board slept on the
deck, except Engineer Grant Conner,
who slept in the cabin. During
the night the crew were aroused by water
touching them, and waking up discovered
the steamer sinking. The men on deck in
an instant were left struggling in the water,
but all escaped ashore except the engineer,
who was drowned. The cause of the acct
dent was that the seacock Uas left open and
the water ran into the vessel. She was
commanded by Capt. McCotter, and was
valued at $500 The vessel now lays in %
feet of water, hut Mr.. Chalker says she
will he raised Immediately. The drowned
engineer was % years old and unmarried.

MILL HANDS IDLE.
Tho War on the Holding of Two Jobs
Inaugurated.

Tho War on the Holding of Two Jobs
Inaugurated.
PITTsBURG, Aug. To-day inaugurated
what from present indications will be the
most serious misunderstanding that has
arisen for years between the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers and
the manufacturers. Already a number of
mills in the Mahoning Valley have been
closed down. and nearly 5000 iron workers
are out of employment, while the indica-
tons are that before many days there will
be n still larger number of idle mills The
trouble is caused by an attempt on the part
of the Amalgamated Association to
enforce an old law i'll their constitution
which provides that no man shall hold two
jobs at mill. At the recent annual con
vention of the iron workers an amendment
stigmatiZing the holder of two jobs as q
"black Sheep was passed and it was dc
cided to enforce the law after Aug 1.
NoN-UNIoN MEN THE TROUBLE.
The members of the association who were
notified of the action taken, as q rule gave
up their extra jobs, but trouble arose over
non-members who refused. At tho mills of
Painter Il Sons, Brown, Bonne!l e. CO., the
MahOning Valley Iron Co., and Cartwright,
McCurdy a. Co., of Youngstown, o.. the
mill owners refused to discharge those men
and the mills closed down this morning.
Some trouble is expected at the Solar
iron works in this city and at the iron
works at Akron, o., and Girard Pa. The
manufacturers refuse to recognize the law
on the ground that it was not included in
the agreement of the scale of wages they
signed Both sides are determined to main
tain the stand taken, and unless an amicable
settlement is reached soon several thousand
more mill workers may be out of employ

CHARLESTON'S COLLAPSE.
a Defeat Ends All Her Hopes of Win
ming tho League Pennant.

--OcSS5
CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. Memphis
effectually squelched Charleston'S last hope
of winning the pennant this afternoon
Tho game was close and exciting, but it was
very decisive and was played in hurry
HUNGER and Hines were offered by the
locals, and Black and McKeogh by the Wis
itors George McKcogh, Of Memphis,
was put up for umpire. The bleach
ing boards crowd thinks that he
favored his side, but as a matter OF fact his
umpring was as fair as could be expected.
On Saturday the locals batted Black out of
the box. To-day they sawed the air for five
innings, getting only one hit. In
the sixth they lit on him and
batted him for seven hits, which Melted
them runs. Hungler, on the other hand,
was hit easily, and despite the errors OF the
visitors, they won the game. 1t was the
splendid work of the outfield that saved
Charleston very disastrous and disgraceful
defeat. The community is beginning to
sour on Hungler. The score by innings and
